Is playing an idol correctly at this point in 46 a winning move?
I don’t know if there will be one last idol to be found. Or who would find it. Or if they would even need it. But I’d say Charlie, Maria, Liz or Kenzie were to find an idol now and play it at the next tribal council where they were likely going/received votes. And they save their game and send off whoever they vote for.
With all of the people sitting on the jury with an idol in their pocket, do you think that move would be enough to get a winning vote from those jury members? Could that be the surefire winning move that’s left in this very close game (for the people I named, I don’t think Ben has a shot and I don’t think anyone is trying to vote him out so he wouldn’t even get to idol out someone if he found it).
Since it’d be the last time it can be played, you don’t really get any points for the timing, but if you could draw votes to yourself in order to unilaterally control who leaves, then sure. Not necessarily a winning move but certainly a strong line on their resume.
That would be interesting if someone blew up their game on purpose at F5 just to play an idol and get out who they want then get put into fire and win you might not get the votes of the last 2 jurors but it could be enough for the others to vote for you?
I have also wondered that myself. There will end up being 8 people on the jury, and at least half (4 so far) will have idols in their pockets. If you are able to pull off a (simple) move that half the jury weren't able to pull off, they would have to respect that, wouldn't they?
That’s what I’m saying. If I’m sitting on the jury and seeing someone pull off a move that I managed to mess up, that might get my vote in the end. And there’s four people who all can look at it that way. Heck I think if Q had used it this week, either he gets huge points or Maria does if she claims him using it as her move. It could have been game winning.
